My Biggest Pokemon Sale EVER
Added:Coming up on Clover Cards. Within the first few minutes of Vegas Collect-A-Con, we make the biggest single card sale ever featured on the channel, selling one of the rarest Pokémon cards in the hobby, a PSA 10 Daisuke Espeon. And from that massive sale, we spend almost every dollar. From poncho pickups to buying out an entire Crystal Pokémon set, this turned into one of the craziest buying days we've ever had. Let's rewind to just moments after the doors opened because this Daisuke deal was already cooking.
All right, welcome to Collect-A-Con.
We're running [music] a bit late, but guess what? We're here, and it is kind of 1:00 a.m. We've already done 4,000 in deals.
Working on a six-figure deal here. We're looking at a potential like 4 to 5K trade there. And I have Pedro's help over here to comp out like another big lot as well. So, let's see how we do.
This is the Espeon Daisuke Club 7,200 points promo, PSA 10, pop 29. Got a potential cash and trade deal out.
>> And this is yours?
>> For now.
What are these at?
>> This is sub 11, 12.
556 >> Give me 94 in these two.
And how much?
90 in those two.
Then just give me the 100.
That'll make my life easier.
>> That wouldn't make sense.
I would give you 90 for just this.
It wouldn't make sense for me to add this.
>> I know, but I'd rather the 100.
>> This like me cash out for 11K right now.
That's all right.
So, I know it's already at 15.
>> So, this in a smaller slab plus the 90.
>> Come on, man.
>> Bro, I like the original deal of 100 cash cuz then in my head I'm like, I'm going to go turn that 100 into 130.
>> Probably 150.
>> Who knows?
>> Give me 90 in that.
>> Throw me one like two or three K item as well, just so I don't feel like Or here, can I just take this?
What's this at?
>> That's 30.
>> So, that's perfect.
These two at 90.
>> It feels like the same thing that I'm about to do.
>> Well, it's double in the size.
>> No, no, no. I just feel like it's the same thing whether I give you 100 or 105.
50 or something around it, maybe.
>> I appreciate it.
>> You're on it.
Give me a good deal.
Good thing.
>> Bro, I always do. All right, so check this out. Espeon is outgoing.
And incoming are these two plus money.
>> Only small moves.
>> So, 70 and then 20 you'll just send me?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, bet.
Perfect.
>> I mean, we're starting with one of the biggest deals you've ever seen.
>> On on on camera.
>> How's the biggest guy you're feeling, man?
>> What up?
Just keep it moving.
>> I noticed a couple of your >> very low sales. Actually, one low sale.
>> Yeah.
>> Do you have any room on that deal?
>> A little bit.
>> Um Uh I was just curious if you wanted to put this partial trade towards it.
>> Towards which?
>> Uh towards this one.
>> Pass on those?
>> Pass on those for the moment, just because of the price.
>> No problem.
>> But, they're really nice.
>> Thank you.
>> I appreciate it.
>> What do you have this at?
>> Uh I think market is at like 3150 or something.
>> Could we do this in 2450 for that?
>> That's the price. That's uh uh I'll do 100.
2250.
>> 23.
Appreciate it.
>> Thank you. Nice to meet >> Appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Check this out. We got the uh EV Munch outgoing.
Incoming, we have the Shining Mew plus 2300 on top.
Appreciate the deal. Thank you.
Sounds good.
All right, and then we go back into the trade that Pedro's been working on.
All right. Talk to me, Pedro.
>> I'm just going to go in like just going to use the like PSA list like a price average just going under it.
>> Mhm.
>> So so far >> So 53 and then what were the >> So it's 53, 35, 34.50 for the BGS, 12.70 for the CGC, 3K for those BGS and then high selling ones.
>> So okay, hold on those.
>> Are like the expected prices and >> for these I can offer 10K trade.
>> Okay.
Okay.
>> Okay, we can do this uh side deck.
>> You like the side deck?
>> Yeah.
>> You don't want Did you want one big card or you want a bunch of stuff to look around?
>> Uh I was also thinking you know to use a bunch but you don't have one. No, maybe >> I can get one.
>> Yeah?
>> Yeah.
>> And we can go trade straight or >> I just have to go find it but I'll go to ask a couple friends.
>> Can keep it?
>> Sure. If you trust me, yeah, then no problem. Of course. I'm Okay, so then let's get a >> These don't count or count twice.
>> Uh maybe you get more value. Unless you want me to take them all.
>> So you just want >> So you only want PSA 10 but you want any Poncho.
Like the skull, the Magikarp, the Gyarados, any of those three?
>> Yeah.
I could just do Well I I would rather do side deck.
>> Okay, here's what we should do.
What I think we take is once I get the card in, then I can do the math to see how much and then I can take this after.
But right now I know this lot is I can value at 10K so I don't have to reprice it again.
Does that work?
>> Yeah.
>> And then do you want me to give you these back? Perfect.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, he wants a Poncho so I have to get him a Poncho today.
So shoot me a message.
>> Okay.
>> So I have your number and then I'll text you whenever I get the card in.
>> Okay, that's cool.
>> I appreciate it. Thank you.
All right, so earlier we premeditated a trade for our poncho. And I told him to come back, so we'll wait for him to come back. But in the meantime, I just picked up the skull poncho, cashed out for 13,250.
All right, so it's still day one. Shout out our good friend coming in. He was on one mission and one mission only. We didn't have a poncho earlier. So, what we did, we came up with a number, told him come back in a few hours, and that's what exactly he did. Cuz what I do, I picked up a poncho for him.

Maybe a little bit of both, potentially.
Just depending on your >> What do you need here?
>> Um I'd like to be at like 13 5 cash.
>> I like these two. Well, hold up on those two.
Do you want to trade either of them, any of them, for anything?
>> I could do the the Gengar too, if that works.
And then the rest cash.
>> What do you have to value those at?
>> I had this at like 55 out.
I hate private sales, but I know privately it was going for 16 cash at my local shop.
I know there was a couple of public comps.
Well, the reason I wanted to sell is to try and buy his card as well, and he only takes cash. of the picture. So >> What do you have the value of this one at?
>> Um I think I had it at like six six seven market. Something like Whatever I put that I took it in way too high.
But that's okay.
It was one really high eight point sale and I'm just kind of taking that out. So >> If I were to take this and give you the Gengar, how much cash would you need on top?
>> Um >> Just want to see if we can get close to a number.
>> If it's like trade, I'd be looking at like 14k value possibly.
>> Okay.
>> Um I know the Gengar was coming around at four five to five, but >> They're going They're going for around like 52.
>> Okay.
I really like it. I mean you do like >> Just the Ray has a auction ending tomorrow, so I don't know where it's going to go. It's at 9.5.
>> I think it'll do quite well with the new Ray set thing announced and everything, but I get you.
What's the lowest listed after the auction is >> The only other listing it says is 23.
>> So hopefully >> Yeah.
>> Okay.
Um Can you get me to like nine on top?
>> Maybe a bit far.
>> Would you accept this as well?
>> One or the other.
I like the Ray more though. I was thinking I could do like the Gengar plus 7,000.
>> It won't be a seven unfortunately. It's still a little too low for >> Or is there other cards as well that you may like? Maybe get you more value.
>> Yeah, we'd love to be closer to nine.
What's the best cash on top of the Ray?
>> With the Gengar?
>> Yeah.
>> 7.5?
>> That's it.
>> What do you have to be at? Nine's your best?
>> No, I mean I could do like >> Sorry?
>> Is there an amount that you would like to take the Zenits at?
>> I feel like these could be like really just cuz I have to take this one at a percentage I feel like I'd almost be at a straight trade there.
Gengar and 500 is my best offer for this.
In a separate trade like if you want to trade this for something else or this for something else.
77's my best for that.
I just don't know where this ends tomorrow.
78 78 Oh yeah.
All right, 79's fine. Appreciate it.

>> What if I take this out?
>> It gives us more room for both sides, that's why.
>> Could you only do these ones, what would you be at?
>> Uh, you're not going to It's just cuz I think these are a bit high at 115.
>> What would you value them at? I I honestly just need to sell them.
